Gold digging geology - Garnets and black sands .... Knowing your garnets and blacks sands, helps you interpret the geology of the area, but also the preponderance of shinies appearing in the gold pan or sluice. If you find garnets, you are bound to find nearby gold. NW Ontario has sedimentary metamorphic garnets that were pushed along by ancient glaciers into the northern Wisconsin territories up to the Central-North mountain range ... or were part of the igneous and tectonic uplift of Wisconsin mountain range, and erosion has washed them down the north face of the mountains. Garnets are silicates (sand quartz) with metallic colorings. Garnets will be found as QUARTZITES. Garnets are as heavy as black sands. Knowing your black sands helps to understand your garnets and vice versa. UNDERWATER wet-formed sedimentary Iron forms hematite, while UNDERGROUND dry-formed igneous Iron forms magnetite. Black sands come from eroded (1) underground dry-formed igneous aphanetic basalt, (2) underground dry-formed igneous phanetic granite, or (3) underwater wet-formed sedimentary Iron hematite leached from ancient fresh (and salt) water sources. Iron bandings in sandstone layers are underwater wet-formed black sand hematite. One needs to understand those NW Ontario sedimentary geologies in this context. Sediments and tan sands. Leached iron bandings in the sandstone (wet-formed black sands) from the ancient Ontario-Wisconsin shallow sea once there. Massive volumes of Lake Superior sediments were gouged out by the glaciers and pushed up against the Wisconsin mountains. Ontario and Lake Superior have hematites. Wisconsin mountains have some remains of the shallow sea hematites, but more-so those of the igneous formed granite and rhyolite magnetites. IF - one finds garnets and black sands remaining in the gold pan with the shinies, and NO tan sands (but can have clays and silts), tells that the source for those garnets come from an igneous source, the Central-North granite and rhyolite mountain range (where other gold mines are located). These black sands would be high concentrations of Iron magnetite. IF - the greater absence of black sands, and more of the tan sands (sedimentary sands), then this would be from the NW Ontario geologies and glacier movements. These black sands would be high concentrations of water--formed Iron hematite. And IF you find black Iron sands and tan Quartz sands then this is from the NW Ontario geologies ... AND ... can have eroded material from the Wisconsin mountains. These black sands would be both concentrations of Iron hematite and magnetite. **** What you have here are garnets from BOTH the Wisconsin mountain range - and - the NW Ontario glacier sediments ! Garnets are usually found washed down from a "MICA"-schist high underground pressure metamorphic geology, or less-so from underground pure igneous granite or rhyolite formations. Granites are large-size crystal structure rocks (phanetics = crystals). They contain feldspar (pinkish potassium silicates), pure (clear) quartz and (dusky) QUARTZITE silicon crystals (silicon dioxides), and plates of MICA (biotite or muscovite). Garnets remain, when all of the surrounding matrix has eroded, the garnets fall out, and then washed downstream in creeks, or pushed up on lake shorelines. These igneous granite and mica-related garnets would be from the Wisconsin mountain range. 6 different varieties of garnets exist worldwide. 3 varieties are found on the American continent. They are 70% almandine, 20% grossular and 10% pyrope. - Almandine garnet is an Iron-Aluminium silicate with the formula Fe3Al2(SiO4)3. The deep red or purple transparent stones are often called precious garnet. These would be Iron-associated with igneous sources as magnetites. - Grossular garnet is a Calcium-Aluminum silicate with the formula Ca3Al2(SiO4)3. But, the Calcium may, in part, be replaced by Ferrous Iron and the Aluminium by Ferric Iron. The name grossular is given as this Iron produces the green garnet color. These shallow sea are Calcium-associated and water-formed Iron-leached hematites. - Pyrope garnet is a Magnesium-Aluminum silicate with the formula Mg3Al2(SiO4)3. Although, typically other elements are present in at least minor proportions-these other elements include Ca, Cr, Fe and Mn. The color is dark and blackish. These are igneous ultra-mafic rocks (basalts), whereas one would consider the Calcium and Magnesium as being shallow sea related. These Iron black sands would be magnetites. Your garnets are portions of Wisconsin mountain almandines and NW Ontario grossulars.
Having the knowledge of the garnets and black sands, then allows you to interpret what gold will be available. NW Ontario evaporate gold and water-formed hematite (from the ancient shallow Ontario-Wisconsin sea) will be here. Igneous and alluvial water-eroded quartz, quartzite garnets, magnetite black sands, with igneous gold will also be found here. Sounds like the best of both worlds - glacial sedimentary AND tectonic gold ready for acquisition.
In cold water, try wearing nitrile gloves. They protect your skin from chapping, and keep your hands warmer when out of the water. (They eliminate the chilling effects of evapotranspiration.)
Thanks for the video, you got a nice little haul, Jason. ...Instead of honeymooning we took our ore crusher and drove up to the Lake District. There's plenty of tasty ore to be prospecting, and we did very well. After panning the ore we got 43.05 grams of flour gold and a 1.5gram nugget I found just lying on the earth! Terrific! Hedge even found your favourite beer. Mighty good! Cheers buddy, best always ~Wendi 🌻🌻🌻
Before a creek, stream, or river meandered, it ran relatively straight. So when i see those bends i know that they are there because of sand and gravel, yes, even cobbles, building a bench, or bar which curved or turned it. In these deposits you'll find clay. Slowly concentrated through the years. So, you then have two forms of concentration. Erosion from the bank and sluicing down the current. As you go downstream from the inside bend it will deposit a gravel bar. This should be good, but because of trying to reconcentration the clay and thereby the gold particles are washed away. Try to picture the creek before it meandered. That's when things will get interesting. Nice show on the gold.😊
winter is never over until Aug. and can return in Sep. lol fact in recorded state history it has snowed in every month but Aug. ! my shovel broke need to get me one for those fancy black ones! that was one fine looking cobbles! might have to send @Chris L.` one of them! He needs thats hes a hard core rock collector! oh some nice good great for 2 buckets! thanks for the share! stay awesome!
3:18 so this is a nice good dropout zone looks like it would be a good slow down section in the turn where gold drops out very easily I'm hoping to get out tomorrow we didn't get no snow 🌨️
I can tell that today was a good day. The way you were kneeling in the water and feeding material with such a huge smile... Made me smile for you. Glad to see you are feeling better. Thanks for the video boss. Have a great week and give the pups a belly rub from all of us out here in the comments section.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I had a hole in my wellies but i sealed it up with builders silicone sealant. It works great. I have ordered new boots but not using them till the old 1s start to leak again.👍🏴⚒️
@@FlourgoldWizards ye bud had 1 hole in the neoprene on the side I sealed about a year ago when they were brand new and about 5 or 6 weeks ago I got a hole in the rubber in the soal and it's sealed great 2. 👍 🏴⚒️
Small bits of Gold, BUT, course and chunky, hasn't traveled much or it would be smooth. Good find there. I've said it before " When I use a Sluice I put a thick plastic bag under it".. That stops water from going underneath and if you put some dirt in it that makes a pad to setup on. Easy to get the best water flow
Another great tutorial on how to find that color))) Sucks getn holes in the waders especialy this time of year. Glad you stuck with it and keep those videos coming my man! 🔥💯⚒️🍺🇺🇲🍻🔥
In the open flow area of the crick, put up a couple of rocks that can block a log and that will help with your volicity in the sluice without spending to much time building a rock damnit.. cobbles
We have been getting the shaft here in Idaho.This weekend's windy and cold, but then during the week days when we're at work, it's sunny and hot and the next weekend supposed to be windy and cold but sunny and hot through the week.We just can't win. That peeber looks fresh sitting in the snowy creek. .. poor rex and rigbomb look depressed about that snack time😂😂. That microscope camera is awsome
Fantastic clinkers of Gold,,its so awsoume finding,,Gold,, that has taken thousands of years + to get into your pan fabulous just makes you appreciate that,,Golds,,history, Like winning the lottery only better ! way to go Mr Wizard❤😂Rigby and Rex looking on form.
Flood Vitamins Minerals Jewels and Gold! 😂 Good stuff, brother Yeah.. I got out my notebook and stole your "Vitamin Minerals" FGW note! 😂 Thank you for your terrific work Peace Prospector Tripp
Really enjoyed your explanation of the drop off coming off the inside bend. You are correct in your hypothesis sir well done. And great job at sitting up that sluice your knowledge and experience is priceless. Thanks for sharing.
Nice run. How about an episode where you stay out all day, 8 - 10 bucket loads, then the next one you're back at the fridge of wonder working it into a pile of gold to see how much is possible if you do spend a day at it. Just a thought.
Oh wow, that was decent for how little material there was. That pan with the garnet, wow, that thing was glowing. Super cool. You better get some new waders or get out the rubber dingy repair kit! lol
Great advice, always learn something watching your videos. Haven't been out yet, live in Mexico in the winter months. Heading back to Idaho in May. Gathering equipment and plan to buy a Gold Hog mini-sluice with power hog and pump kit.
When I seen the notice that you posted I had to check the "fridge of wonder" it was empty lol made a trip to the store so I could share cobbles with you.. lol
You're an animal🍻! Where I come from its illegal to break the ice to fish trout on opening day......no feet, rocks, boat, stick, throwing the anchor and hauling it back.....! Did I see that same PBR in Greigs video from Canada?
When are you going to be on America's Backyard Gold? This would be perfect for it. And what do you end up doing with the garnets? Thanks! Love your channel.

Gittin after it , yeee haa !!! Winter just doesn't want to let go ! Had 22" last Saturday !! Still watching the sap boil here in the northeast (not much longer tho) .... Then it'll be time to hit the river . Good times ahead ... Thanks for the video this morning Jason ,,,Cobbles brother 🍺 🍻
Jason….just love watching and listening to you. Makes me so lonesome for WI! Miss hearing crick (creek). That’s the way we always pronounced it too!! Oh yeah garnet. What part of the state are you in?
Flour gold wizard is man of many talents . 1:20 I didn't know you could river dance and using hip weighters to do it . hahahaha pure gold 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lord of the dance 😃😃😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crazy Jason, 17° water, knowing theres a hole in the waders... thinking about a boiling frog, (with stomach growling) after he ate all of the dogs jerky! I Love the last shot of the HUGE Pile of Gold and Jewels... a few more like that, and he Never has to pick up another Cinder Block! Unless he Wants to...
